Stop a retail catalog at your business address

A retail catalog may arrive at your business address from an earlier purchase or an old tenant. You can request removal for mail you are authorized to handle, once you confirm no one in the business uses it.

How to remove an unwanted retail catalog at a business address

  1. Confirm that you are authorized to handle mail for this address and that the catalog is not addressed to a specific colleague.
  2. Ask others in the business whether anyone orders from it, since a supplier catalog can look like a retail one.
  3. Photograph the label so the sender's name and your full address, including the suite or unit, are readable.
  4. Submit the photo through Junk Mail Magic. Review the details, sign in and send the request.

Why the suite number matters

Several tenants can share one street address, so a request that leaves out the suite may not match your record. Copy the suite exactly as the label prints it. If the catalog is addressed to a former employee or tenant, do not act on it without authority to handle that person's mail. Keep bills and other people's mail out of any photo.

A practical next step

Read the label closely before you submit and compare it with the address the sender may have on file. If the suite or business name is spelled differently, say so when you contact the sender.

Instructions for the next step

Have an unwanted advertisement ready?

Photograph one piece you are authorized to handle, with the sender and full mailing label visible. Review the details before submitting. The first request is free; the sender controls the response.
